Bradford-on-Avon is among the most architecturally significant small towns in England — a Bath stone settlement on the River Avon where the terraced hillsides of houses, weavers' cottages and Georgian merchant buildings create a townscape of exceptional quality. Most of the town falls within the Bradford-on-Avon Conservation Area, a high proportion of properties are listed, and the surrounding countryside is AONB. These designations are not obstacles — they're simply the context in which roofing in Bradford-on-Avon must be done correctly.
The dominant roofing material is Cotswold stone slate — thick, irregular stone tiles cut from local oolitic limestone, heavier and more complex than clay tile. Stone slates require lead valleys and flashings in heavier code weights due to the movement and weight loading involved. When stone slates fail, they must be replaced in kind or with close clay equivalents — concrete tile is not acceptable on any conservation area property in Bradford-on-Avon and would require planning consent to use even outside it. We source stone slates from local and regional suppliers.
Valley relines are the most frequent call in Bradford-on-Avon — stone slate roofs with original lead valleys that have corroded through after 80–120 years. Lime chimney repointing and lead flashing replacement at chimney bases are the other main maintenance categories. We survey all Bradford-on-Avon properties free of charge and advise on material requirements before any quote is prepared.
"Stone-slated property on Church Street — one of the most visible in the town. Lead valleys had been slowly failing for years. New code 5 lead throughout, stone slates carefully lifted and relaid, lime pointing on the ridge. Exceptional care and skill."
"Listed weaver's cottage with two chimney stacks needing full lime repointing and new lead aprons. The contractor understood the constraints, used appropriate materials, and the work passed the Conservation Officer inspection without amendment."
"Large branch came down and damaged a section of the stone slate roof during a winter storm. These were the only emergency roofer who had stone slates on the van. Temporary tarpaulin fitted properly, permanent repair booked within a week."
Yes. We source stone slates from local and regional suppliers and are experienced in their installation and repair. Stone slate work requires specialist knowledge — the fixing method, the head lap, the weight distribution and the lead detail beneath are all different from clay or concrete tile.
Always, on all historic and conservation area properties. Bath stone and Cotswold limestone require lime mortar to breathe naturally — cement pointing causes irreversible stone damage. We use NHL 2.5 or 3.5 hydraulic lime appropriate to the building's construction.
We advise on required materials before preparing any quote, flag where listed building consent may be required before work starts, and carry appropriate materials as standard. We liaise with the Conservation Officer on significant projects if the client requires it.
